DNS site setup "Rob" <noemail[ at ]email.com> 12/21/2008 12:47:50 AM I have two offices. One has main dns and dc. Remote office has secondary dns and dc for the computers at that office. Two hardware routers maintain the vpn link between the offices for replication. Here is my problem. When the vpn link goes down (randomly from time to time for a few minutes), users at the remote office cannot access the internet. I understand not being able to access a local intranet site, but things such as google or whatever don't work either until the vpn link comes back up. Currently on the secondary dns server, there is nothing set in the forwarders tab. Should I enter the ip address of the local router at that office to fix this problem? Or should I put something else? Any help appreciated. Rob

Re: DNS site setup "Rob" <noemail[ at ]email.com> 12/23/2008 4:40:34 PM So your saying put in the DNS servers of the broadband provider for that location?

If you router forwards request to the ISP's DNS server then you can use the routers IP as the forwarder. hth DDS "Rob" <noemail[ at ]email.com> wrote in message news:OCIMA1RZJHA.412[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > So your saying put in the DNS servers of the broadband provider for that > location? > > Rob > > "Danny Sanders" <DSanders[ at ]NOSPAMciber.com> wrote in message > news:u6XrlvEZJHA.6000[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> Currently on the secondary dns >>> server, there is nothing set in the forwarders tab.
